When I click the previous/next button on my products details page the product shown does not correspond to the previous/next (left/right) product of the product (listing) page. In other words, previous/next seems to use a different order than the product list order.

It seems that this problem only occurs when importing products.

How does Multishop determine the default sort order when importing products with a product id? I was hoping Multishop would then sort by product id but it doesn't. It seems to be random.

ok sounds like you have products with the same sortorder number. I remember we had this issue in the importer because we used $time=time() and that the importer goes so fast that the next product go the same sort_order value as the previous product.

but this is fixed long time by incrementing the sort_order by 1 inside the importer iterator.

What happens if you re-sort your whole catalog? Ie: go to system/sort catalog/sort products on alphabet.

Are u using the flat mode setting? If so you have to re-sort the catalog and afterwards press rebuild flat database.
